I knitted a traditional Jussi sock for my DH but the cuff was too tight. I had to frog the first version, knit a new one and graft it to the remains of the old cuff. I do not recommend that task to anyone first thing in the morning, unless you have exceptional patience. But I think the sock looks rather neat, now.

Tein sukan varren eilen loppuun, kun en voinut aloittaa niitä ylen ohkaisia sukkia. Karvis nukkui jo täyttä päätä siinä vaiheessa, kun mie oisin aloittanut silmukoita, ja kun haluan niihin nirkkoreunan, ja opus, jossa se neuvotaan, oli makkarissa.. No, eihän se sitten onnistunut. Niin että tein tuon varren ja pistelin paljon. Mallitilkut niihin ohkaisiin sukkiin valmistui kuitenkin eilen.I had thought about casting on for the socks of lace weight yarn, but couldn't do that yesterday, since I wanted a picot cast-on for the socks and the book with the instructions was in the bedroom and in the bedroom was Mr HairyFeet sound asleep so of course I could not cast on for the socks yesterday. So I stitched a lot and knitted the cuff. And finished the swatches for the sock project.

The yarn is the same in both swatches, but I used #000 needles for the rose one and #00 for the white one. I also dyed the rose swatch with Grape Kool-Aid. I want the socks to be of that vintage, Victorian lilac color, but couldn't quite get that on the first try. I guess I have to add a little Berry Blue to the Grape. The gauge is in the rose swatch 40 stitches and 58 rows = 4 " and in the white 34 stitches and 50 rows = 4". I will knit the socks with #000 needles, so I need to cast on some 160 stitches. There will be roughly 240 rows in the leg alone, which means these won't be finished in a week!
